Ares S1 Project 

When you’re a coach builder best known for your work on luxury and high-performance cars, the next step in your evolution is only natural: Make one of your own. And that’s just what Ares Design is doing with its new supercar concept, the S1 Project.

The Italian company has just unveiled its first original vehicle, a limited-run speedster it claims will churn out more than 700 horses. And this isn’t just some theoretical mock-up. The Modena-based company, which was co-founded by former Lotus CEO Dany Bahar, has built its reputation on elegant coach work, and it shows through in the S1 Project’s curvaceous exterior. The brash vehicle features an all-new design, with a flowing shape that revolves around giant front and rear fenders. In front is a dramatic down-sloping hood that smoothly segues into a spacious cockpit that begins at the front tiers. With the driver’s cabin in a front-forward position, the car almost looks like a rocket ship on wheels.

But while the exterior may be the S1’s standout feature, the car’s technical specs are no less impressive. The S1 will be powered by a naturally aspirated V8 that can rev up to 8,800 rpm and produce a 715 horses. Mated to an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission, the engine can rocket the car from zero to 62 mph in just 2.7 seconds. While its far from the most powerful supercar out there, the Ares model will bring plenty of grunt to the road. Other technical features include a double wishbone suspension, forged-aluminum axles and adaptive Magnetic Ride Control, all of which promise to give the S1 Project a smoother ride—not a characteristic often associated with supercars. While Ares hasn’t released pricing info for the S1 Project, you can expect it to be steep, especially since the company only intends to build 24 examples of the vehicle.

Italian Company Ares Is Turning the C8 Corvette into a Hypercar

But they changed in this car is not worth what they do at all these people are frauds and they've been frauds for a long time and you can see it in there Bentley and the Mercedes truck that they didn't change hardly anything put some accents on and they polished it shiny and they said that they did something here it looks like they changed the doors and the body of teeny bit something on the rear end and that's it it's not worthwhile to do this at all. And this guy's been fooling people for quite a while and putting accents on it takes probably 20 minutes and he makes a ton of money and it doesn't do a damn thing and we are always disgusted by people like that and I said thought it was just the golden doors the gully doors and practically is there's only two other things to change and you found them that's ridiculous so you don't suggest to bringing your car there as a matter of fact he goes through I didn't this devices in has been found out for doing so has been watched for the government for years because they just take from him and he goes after them occasionally

-the idiots to either side of our son are slowly being removed from the apartment and by force today is the beginning of removing them several cases have been opened in court and they had the hearings and they approved the case and their four cases two of them against John and the Lord born against Terry cheesman won against Dave AKA Dan and a murderer cases and tonight they'll figure out who's doing it and I'll try and get them in court tomorrow and they will Hammer the mail in the final distance their own coffin. And that kind of court is a death sentence. No if you go to prison these days it is and it wasn't last year.

-several people are going to hit the road and and leave rather than go through the process and it said it too you don't feel like going to court going to jail going to prison and are going to try and evade it. Others like these trumps here will try and fight it and they're going to lose

The last time the U.S. enacted major immigration reform was the Immigration Reform and Control Act in 1986. Since then, little has been done to fix what has become a broken system despite heated debate at the national, state, and local levels.

Unfortunately, the immigration debate has also become increasingly disconnected from the exigencies of the U.S. economy, even in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic in which worker shortages and labor market dysfunction have become increasingly glaring. Worse still, the aging U.S. workforce and structural shifts toward a more service-oriented economy will likely deepen much of this dysfunction unless policymakers can agree to major reforms to shore up the U.S. workforce.

This report aims to support these necessary reforms by highlighting the areas of the economy that are most in need of workers. Importantly, our approach not only highlights occupations that are—and will continue to be—in greatest demand, but also the occupations that are most complementary to the existing workforce, ensuring that efforts to meet these labor market needs will support all workers. At the core is a framework that we call the Occupational Opportunity Network, which identifies strategic occupations that will be in high demand for the next decade; are historically immigrant intensive; and have a high degree of complementarity with other occupations. In short, we define highly complementary occupations as those that are central to the U.S. workforce in the sense that they are used as inputs to many different industries and, within those industries, tend to augment the employment of other workers.

This framework can support immigration reform efforts in Congress and the executive branch—for instance, when considering the scale of any expansion in the number of H1B (specialty, high education) and H2 (temporary services) visa categories or in devising new policies, possibly including some of those that we discuss at the end of the report.

We show that the H2B visa program should be expanded to accommodate increased hiring of hospitality workers, drivers, construction workers, and care workers. Similarly, the H1B visa program should be expanded to accommodate increased hiring of health care workers, executives, and engineers, among others.

It is important to note at the outset that the jobs that we identify as high-value needs for the economy are not intended to be used as explicit targets for policy. Immigration system reforms will necessarily need to be broad-based, and we assume that the market will allocate workers most efficiently, an assumption that is bolstered by research showing that immigrants are highly efficient equilibrators of labor markets. This report is instead meant to outline the nature and scale of the workforce problems that the U.S. currently faces and to highlight the effects that different types of reforms will likely have in alleviating the wide-ranging labor market dysfunction that exists.

We begin by describing the current U.S. labor market context, noting the important distortions caused by the pandemic and their relationship to the immigrant workforce. Next, we present our detailed framework, the Occupational Opportunity Network. Finally, we offer some practical policy applications.

Lotus Elise Concept, 2010. The last time Lotus was going to replace the Elise it was with this car which was part of an ambitious plan to produce a whole new generation of Lotus cars under the directorship of Dany Bahar (now CEO of Ares Design). The plan was never realised as Lotus lacked the resources to fund it and Bahar was dismissed from his role as CEO in 2012

Government Failure at Home and Abroad

Is it the End of the World as we know it?

Press Release 01/25/19

GAINESVILLE, Fla, January 25, 2019 (Brookings Institute) –- The democratic process has had trying times this past week. In a Brookings Institute Podcast, Dany Bahar discusses Juan Guaido, President of the National Assembly of Venezuela, who has been sworn in as President of Venezuela. While the rest of the world has recognized Guaido as President, Maduro (current/former President) has not. (source) In another Brookings Institute article, Joseph Kane discusses how President Trump has promised a wall to his supporters, and he is trying his best to get funding passed before the 2020 election. How will he accomplish this task? Creating a government shutdown until Democrats ‘bend the knee’. (source)

As of January 12th, the current government shutdown has been the longest in the history for the US. Having started December 22nd of 2018, the halt to governmental activities has lasted over a month, and the effects are disturbingly apparent. Federal employees have been without pay for 2 weeks, causing soup kitchens to be inundated with the furloughed employees. What are our civil servants being forced to stay home for? A wall. In hopes of wrangling the same national-security minded voters for the 2020 election cycle, President Trump has created a ‘log-jam’ in Washington to get $5.7 billion dollars for his wall. Trump is threatening to divert the $5.7 billion from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which is severely underfunded already. The wall would take ¾ of the USACE’s planned budget. (source) The US infrastructure has not aged well with climate and population changes, and the USACE’s job is to ensure highways and dams are maintained. Kane writes; “If President Trump were to shift the energy he has put into the wall for a truly comprehensive infrastructure plan, the shutdown would likely be over and Americans could get back to work on the projects that really matter.” (source).

Democracy has never been viewed as a perfect governmental system and this week shows us exactly why. Venezuelan rulers defy their own constitution and the United States government is shut down over a wall. Those at the top have been shown to risk the well-being of their citizens to stay in power.

Founded in 1916, the Brookings Institute conducts research and reports on economic issues, policy changes, development, and the global economy.

The recent tragedy of the death of over 50 migrants in an abandoned overheated truck in Texas forces us to reevaluate whether there is a better way for the United States—and there must be—to deal with the immigrants trying to reach the country.  

This reevaluation includes not only adopting a more humanitarian approach to border policies, but also challenging preconceived ideas about these immigrants, which will allow us to embrace them as they are: much-needed workers that can complement the American workforce. 

Our argument is simple; the U.S. workforce is aging and cannot meet the economy’s capacity. Yet, for nearly 20 years, U.S. authorities have deported over 1 million immigrants originally from Central America’s Northern Triangle to their home countries through Mexico. But these potential workers are essential to the U.S. right now: Historically immigrants have been young and have joined the workforce in occupations that very few Americans are able or willing to fill today.  

The need to fill these occupations is evident from the market forces that continue to attract immigrants from Mexico and Central America, despite the incredible and increasing difficulties they face crossing the border. On the Mexican side, the use of “coyotes” (people smugglers) has gone up by 30 percent⁠—from about 45 percent in the second half of 2020 to nearly 60 percent in the last quarter of 2020⁠—as measured by surveys of returned Mexican migrants. According to these surveys, coyotes charged sums close to $6,000 per person smuggled in 2019, though that cost is reported to have gone down in 2020, presumably because of the slowdown in crossing caused by COVID-19. Nevertheless, the mere existence of this illicit market on the border is, arguably, a result of the dramatic increase in U.S. efforts—and resources—to stop this migration. In May 2022, U.S. Customs and Border Protection registered 240,000 encounters that month, up nearly 70 percent from May 2019, putting fiscal year 2022 on track to hit a record number of border encounters in recent history.  

Despite the conditions at the border, a deep dive into the data speaks for itself on the need for the U.S. to drastically redesign its migration policy with respect to Mexico and Central America and to put forward legal pathways for immigrants to enter and work in the United States instead of trying to apprehend them at the border.
